Written by the AllCargo editorial team from manufacturer specifications and owner feedback. We did not test-ride this bike. How we review →
Who it is for
The Urban Arrow FamilyNext Advanced Belt Auto is for parents who want to focus on traffic and children, not on gears. It has the new FamilyNext box with higher backrests, one-handed seatbelts and a 125 kg rating, room for up to four children and a 250 kg total rating.
Riding and everyday use
The automatic Enviolo hub adjusts the ratio to your speed, so you keep a steady pedalling rhythm from a standstill to cruising speed, and it drops into an easy gear when you stop. The Bosch Performance Line motor with 75 Nm is smooth and quiet, and the Gates belt stays clean. With the 800 Wh battery, expect around 60 km with children on board. Magura CMe four-piston brakes and a suspension fork complete a very comfortable package.
Before you buy
Automatic shifting needs a short adjustment period, and some riders prefer to choose their own gear. At 51 kg and front-loader length, plan a ground-level parking spot with a socket nearby.
